Lyra plunges into the woods for refuge, leaving the discovery of her stepmother’s affair and the woman’s ensuing rage back at the trailer park. However, a mysterious ringing in the forest leads her to a different sort of sanctuary, a castle of ice with a lonely prince living in his solitary kingdom.While the castle holds haunting ballrooms, vast gardens, and rooms filled with more treasures than … treasures than a museum, the cobwebs in dark corners whisper a different story. The longer she stays, the more she yearns to return to her rusty old home. Yet once she uncovers the secret of the ice prince in his castle, if she doesn’t find a way to escape soon, she never will.

A Reflection of Ice by Katherine McIntyre is a wonderful fairy tale to read. This is a dark fairy tale but I love how it is writen and I can not get enough of this story or author. I can not wait to see what the author writes next and I highly recommend this story.

I was surprised with how much I enjoyed this book. It’s definitely not in the realm of what I typically read, but it was really well done and intriguing so it really caught my attention.
First off, it’s a YA. I don’t recall ever coming across the characters age, just that she’s in school and lives with her parents. However, she’s a great character with a healthy amount of skepticism due to a rocky background. Which I loved, because this girl enters into this crazy ice castle situation and actually uses her head in the way we all scream at horror film characters to do.
It was awesome, with a hint of darkness thrown in there. I was really not expecting the turn the story line went in with Moro, but I seriously thought it was so well crafted and entirely unique.
Definitely recommend!
There just aren’t enough good Bluebeard retellings! I really enjoyed this one! Lyra kept her head on her shoulders and trusted her instincts. I wonder what other sort of adventures Katherine McIntyre can come up with!
Beautiful, haunting, and vividly told. Entranced from the beginning and got lost in the words. An intoxicating escape desperately needed at the time it was read. I thank the Author for providing a copy to review!!

Fairy tale? Absolutely, but not the fluffy, everything’s sunshine and roses kind. This wonderfully written fantasy is dark and gritty with a building tension reminiscent of The Brothers Grimm. The story opens with Lyra running away from her less than ideal circumstances and finding refuge in a mysterious ice castle. With a growing list of things that aren’t quite right, Lyra realizes that she may have run into more trouble than she was running from. From start to finish, I couldn’t put this one down and would readily recommend it to anyone who enjoys a bit of the dark and eerie in their fairy tales.
